When the ETERNUS disk storage system icon is dragged and dropped to the performance management window, a storage logic configuration tree will be displayed as below.
"AffinityGroup" indicates a number of the zone functionality of the selected storage system.
"LUN" indicates a logical unit number from the point of view of the server node. Since this is allocated with Logical Volume (OLU and LUN_V) that specifies a number unique to a device managed in the device, this is expressed as "LUN X(Logical Volume X)" in the tree.
"RAID Group" located under "LUN" indicates that LUN is included in "RAID Group" (rank). [Disk](=physical drive) under [RAIDGroup] or [RAIDGroup [X- X]] indicates the drive used to configure the rank. [LogicalVolume] under [RAIDGroup] or [RAIDGroup [X- X]] indicates the numbers of other LogicalVolumes that belong to the same RAIDGroup. [RAIDGroup X- X] also has devices that are not shown.
The properties are displayed as tool tips. For details about items that can be checked in these tool tips, refer to "B.10.3 The tree view".
Figures beginning with "0x" are values expressed in hexadecimal notation. Other numbers are decimal numbers.
From the device tree in the Performance Management window, select the number of the LUN or RAID Group whose performance information you want to display, right-click to display a pop-up menu, and select [Show Performance Graph].
You can select multiple numbers. To do so, click LUN or RAID Group while holding down the [Ctrl] or [Shift] key, right-click and slect [Show Performance Graph].

Note
When the specified ETERNUS disk storage system has no Eco-mode function, the number of active disks, power consumption and temperature graph is not displayed. For the ETERNUS disk storage systems that have the Eco-mode function, refer to "1.3.4 Energy-saving operation for storage device".
Before the displaying the performance information for the number of active disks, power consumption and temperature, it is necessary to upgrade to the firmware that supports the Eco-mode operation and change the composition of the device. For the details of those procedures, refer to "7.2.11 Updating configuration information".
